A lot of people on youtube do giveaways, and I really want to do one for my youtube channel to hopefully get more subscribers.. How do people do giveaways on youtube usually? I understand many of them either get products from a certain company, or buy it.. Do you mail it yourself? And how do you make sure they aren't crazy and you aren't giving makeup to some crazy person who could take your address and go crazy and find you? haha... I want to do one but I am nervous of dealing with people who are a little crazy...have any of you done a giveaway? or won one? How do you guys like it?

if you're going to start doing stuff like that, it's safer to get a P.O. box at your local post office. i would never use your real address.:)

oh thats smart, never thought of that :) thank you!

I do giveaways every 100 subscribers. I purchase all of the stuff myself (feels like an extra thank you), and I mail it myself as well. A PO Box is definitely the route to go so that you don't have to give out your address. Good luck!!

I did a giveaway when I reached 100 (I'm doing another at 500). I used eyeslipsface because you can use e-giftcards. I didn't need to ask for their address so it made it easy. I'm still trying to figure out what to do for 500 though.
